When we finally accepted that something was wrong, the best we could figure was that an animal had died in the ducts, or in the crawl space under the house. It was one of those moments where you want a grown up to show up and deal with the situation… and then you gradually have to accept that that grown up is you.

I wish there was a way to take spiritual pictures. I know that we all have a long way to go but sometimes I think we forget just how far we’ve come. We are so close to the situation that it almost appears that nothing has changed.

After a few moments, Oldest abandoned the swings and Little started to follow. I sat down and slowly began swinging on my own. And I thought, this is how it’s going to be. My boys are becoming their own persons.
Then my Oldest, my original baby boy, turned back and came to push me. And Little hopped onto my lap. And I could smell the sand and heat from his neck and see Oldest’s shadow as he gave us one last push before climbing a new challenge. I watched him scale the fire pole with Little cuddling with me and I realized: This is how it is supposed to be.
